Tweet ThisEMC Entertainment - Now in its ninth season, Almonte's Folkus Concert Series is pleased to announce its February performer taking the stage in the acoustically fabulous Almonte Old Town Hall (14 Bridge St.).
Folkus presents The Foggy Hogtown Boys, with Joey Wright, Feb. 6.
For a short time, The Foggy Hogtown Boys may have been a well-kept secret, but apparently word has gotten out! Over the last five years, an ever-widening audience has been raving about the band! With four critically acclaimed CDs and tours from coast to coast, the Toronto-based band has established itself as one of the most exciting bluegrass groups in the country.
The Foggy Hogtown Boys are: Andrew Collins on mandolin, Chris Coole on guitar, Max Heineman on bass, Chris Quinn on banjo and John Showman on fiddle.
From the band's inception, it was apparent that this particular group of musicians had a special chemistry that translated into some very powerful and entertaining music.
The band has a unique sound that is the sum of its members' personalities and musicianship. Although instrumentally the group has the power to dazzle any audience, the song is always given top priority. This commitment is evident in the care taken to arrange each song in a way that allows the story and feeling of the lyrics to surface and not be overshadowed by pyrotechnics.
Joey Wright, a Black Hen Music recording artist, opens the show.
Single tickets are $23 in advance or $27 at the door. With valid student identification, students pay $5 after 7:45 p.m. on the night of the concert.
